About this product

Product Information

You can feel the distinctive touch of its two rectangular controllers and red buttons, have fun with the system's NES Zapper, and kick back while you use them to play “Duck Hunt” and “Super Mario Bros.”. The console features a loading cartridge in the front and has 2kB of on board RAM, which can be expanded with a game cartridge. With a color palette of 48 colors and six grays and a display resolution of 256 x 240 pixels, you can enjoy the old school style while playing your favorite classics. If you're not the hands on type, then Nintendo consoles can also make great vintage display items. You might not be able to keep your NES games tucked away for long, though. All of the cords are long, which can help if you're using this NES video game console with a modern television. This system weighs 5 pounds and measures 14 inches by 12 inches. You can find plenty of components to make your NES work with different configurations. If you need to connect your Nintendo to a flat screen TV that doesn't have any composite jacks, then a simple HDMI adapter will work. A Famicom games adapter will enable you to play games of this type. You can even play classic Japanese Nintendo games on your NES without requiring a Super Nintendo. Some Nintendo games like “Final Fantasy” and “Castlevania”” feature a Save function. The mini battery in these games enables players to save their progress just like they did back in the 1980s. Playing on the Nintendo Entertainment System can be a nostalgic experience for some. Gamers who were too young to remember the NES when it first came out can still enjoy playing it. Whether it's “Super Mario” you can't wait to play or some other game, this Nintendo system can provide hours of entertainment each day.

So my fiancée had been bit by the nostalgia bug, and being the console gamer she is, she has been hoping to get a NES for some time now. After perusing around different sites and sellers that would work for our current setup, I stumbled across this little baby. I can tell the seller takes pride in the products he sells because this thing works better than the day it rolled off the factory floor! The console came with a replacement/non-oem Nintendo controller with an extra-long, 3.5 meter cable (I also ordered an extra one by itself as this particular package only came with one controller, as well as nes controller extension cables).
Functionally-speaking, it works without problem, and with the disabled lock-out chip, that means the console also accepts imports carts, and game carts not directly certified by nintendo (homebrew and otherwise).
Now, Asthetically-speaking: the console is in pretty decent shape for its age. There are some scratches, but that's expected for a 30+ year-old console. I am most certainly not complaining about that.
Controller ports: I noticed that the controller port 1 lacked any "snap" sound/feel notifying that the controller had been plugged in. The same cannot be said for controller port 2, so I can tell that this console was historically played by a single person.
Otherwise, this was a great deal, and I can definitely tell that the seller/refurbisher is a passionate gamer.Read full review

The console was shipped very quickly and I haven't had any issues. The system boots right up with no trouble. I was disappointed to see that the controllers and the "Zapp" gun are aftermarket, remakes and are no original. The controllers are somewhat finicky in that Mario doesn't stay crouched down unless you're hitting the directional down pad button at EXACTLY the right spot. The gun is fully functional and works very well but it's slightly smaller than the original and it's also extremely light and just has a flimsy feel. The trigger works but it's not the same spring mechanism that every kid fell in love with growing up. For me, it's all about the entire experience and recreating the exact memories, not just having a functional system. I'm very happy about the console and the game but the controllers and gun just seem like the seller is cutting corners to hit this low price point. If you're a purest, I would look for an all original set, but if you don't care and want something that is "close enough" (maybe for kids who don't care?) this is a great set.Read full review

If you want to reexperience the golden age of console gaming, then the Nintendo Entertainment System is the way to go.
Since no new games for the console are being manufactured due to the obvious age of the system, selection is limited. However, that does not mean that good games still cannot be found.
If you're like me, and not only want to relive a part of your childhood, but also finally get to play those games that were hard to find or your parents weren't able to get for you, then you won't be sorry. Games are relatively easy to find via the wonders of the internet. It's also been a perfect way to introduce my children to gaming, as many games for the platform are simple to grasp and don't have overly complicated control schemes.
You won't find HD graphics, cinematic cutscenes, or ground-breaking AI, but you will find many timeless classics.
In short, don't accept any emulations/substitutions - get the full experience (including blowing out those cartridges before playing them!) You won't be sorry.Read full review

I never bought one of these off ebay....But I deal in gaming items I have picked up over 50 of them.....Its one of those consoles you don't sell without working on it....The pin connector you either have to fix or replace with each of the 50 I have picked up....That's about it though its a good idea to clean the dust out and make sure theres no junk on the board....If you wanna get creative tear out the lockout chip...The thing is though retro pads are cheaper and will play nes snes and some play genesis as well....In general I have not found the retro pads as reliable as the old nes....Some nes games for some reason won't play on them but they will on the nes....Plus the retro pads and the after market controllers you buy always seems to have controller cords that fray at the base nes controllers seem to be more durable in that respectRead full review

Overall great item - cant expect too much on a machine this old as it Took me over an hour to load Mario and then when switched to Lolo game it too another 30 minutes of sliding the game in / out. pushing it down - starting it up, blowing in it. . . I really felt like i was back in 1989.
